"It’s hard to fully express the gratitude, respect and admiration my family has for Ms.Rose and her staff at Rise and Shine Montessori. Both my daughter and son have attended Ms.Rose’s and they both have flourished due to her dedication and commitment to her students in all aspects of their development. Her facility is top notch and Rose is always going above and beyond instilling confidence in the children to be the best versions of themselves as they prepare for kindergarten and beyond.
Thank you Ms.Rose for all you do with our kids. We know how much you love and care for them."

-Kelly

"Ms. Rose and Ms. Mabel teach children to be kind, smart and lovable. Other than effective step-by-step teachings in numbers, shapes, colours, spelling, and other accademic development, they also put focus on helping the kids to have good virtues and be a better self."

-Michelle

"Our lil one was once a shy and timid girl, but after two years at this preschool / daycare, she became more confident and caring. We are amazed, so are others, at her neat handwriting, great colouring, ability to do addition and substraction and spelling. Her academic level is already in Grade 1 level even before she started kindergarten."

-Aimee

"I am so grateful for Ms. Rose & Ms. Mabel at Rise 'N Shine. My child learned number, reading and spelling skills, but I am most appreciative of the attention to teaching kids how to be good, polite human beings."

-Alice

"The set-up was great, with an awesome underwater-themed nap room, a bright and engaging 'classroom', and tons of outdoor space. We definitely feel our son has learned a lot socially, emotionally and educationally, and had a lot of fun during his time at Rise and Shine."

-Carrie

"Great experience at Rise and Shine! Felt like family taking care and teaching our kids. Would be more than happy to send another child or recommend for anyone thinking of sending their child to Rise and Shine Montessori."
